Melodic Drum & Bass

Meet James, a 29 year old Spotify playlist curator from Sydney, Australia.

Name one of your favorite albums of all time?

Camo & Krooked - Zeitgiest

These two lads from Austria, Reinhard & Markus, are creative geniuses when it comes to drum & bass. They’ve always been about doing things a little differently to the rest of the artist/producers in the scene.

Experimental percussion, sounds and unexpected anti-drops are their jam.

What is the best concert you’ve ever been to and why?

Netsky Live - 2014

I hate to say it, but this was back when Boris was producing some wicked DnB. He’s lost his way a little in recent times (subjectively speaking).

That aside, man was this an insane concert. If you think about the tempo of DnB then think about playing live instruments at that pace, it was seriously a sight to behold. Sweat flying everywhere.

If you were a singer, what current living artist would you like to collaborate with?

Hybrid Minds

Love these guys, they make some seriously soulful and melodic tunes and lyrics go beautifully over.

What artist, dead or alive, who would you interview and why?

Probably the guys from Above & Beyond. They are legends in the trance scene and a source of a lot of my inspiration that I take to curating my drum & bass playlist. Would love to pick their creative brains.

What is the last song you listened to?

Brace Face - Keeno

This a journey of a tune.
